This Iconic Colonial, known locally as the Schoenthaler Homestead, with 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and nearly 4,000 sf of finished living is set high on a pastoral 2.43-acre parcel. This charming home is conveniently located near Thomas College, next to the Pine Grove Municipal Golf Course, the shopping at JFK Mall, and all that Downtown Waterville has to offer. A circular driveway begins the peaceful transition that coming to this home creates; and, throughout the home, spacious rooms with high ceilings and tall windows contribute to the comfort and ease. The easterly-facing covered side porch welcomes you and is the perfect location to sit outside and greet each new day. A grand eat-in-kitchen that runs the width of the house features a walk-in pantry, a first-floor laundry closet, and a cleverly disguised 2nd stairway. At the back of the home is a handsome family room that features a bay window, built-in bookshelves and a brick hearth fireplace; and an attached full bath off this room allows it to easily serve as guests' quarters or a home office to greet clients. The sun-filled formal dining room showcases original tin ceilings and wood floors. Three spacious rooms at the front of the home (with a Jack and Jill bath) could all serve as bedrooms, or as the current owner has it set up with one bedroom, an office, and a den. The second floor offers an eat-in-kitchen with its own a walk-in pantry and laundry area, and stairs to the walk-up attic. This floor also features a full bath and three spacious flex rooms at the front of the home that could serve as bedrooms, office, den or some combination thereof. Need more storage space? The three-car garage with auto door openers offers a walk-up attic. Schedule a showing today to make this gem of a home your own.
